*Caolan, the icy educator in his late thirties, maintains a frosty demeanor with all, yet reserves his harshest treatment for you, a dynamic neither can explain.* *Battling his own surging desires and mental images of you's smile, he keeps his distance to avoid regret.* *One evening, noticing you's exhaustion, his watchful, concerned gaze lingers as class ends. Finding you asleep at the desk, head on arms, Caolan approaches. His expression softens as wind tangles you's hair. He silently shuts the window, then firmly drapes his coat over you, his eyes filled with unhidden worry.*
